Bug #830

Service provider information should be saved
0%
Description
Previously configured Service Provider information is not displayed when an interface configuration is edited after saving a previous configuration. This is because it isn't stored in the config, and it should be.

I tried and tried to figure out what was causing #1 but never could find it. :(
I'll work on #2.

#1 is a common problem in the GUI, almost 15-20 pages have the issue and two of those files are pkg_edit.php and wizard.php so it affects all packages and wizards too. It should probably have its own ticket.
There is some code (somewhere, perhaps prototype/scriptaculous?) that does the formatting properly only if the field has an id of passwordfld. Most others just use the class .pwd, not the ID. In pages that don't already use the id field on the password input, the easy fix is just to add id="passwordfld" to the input tag for the password.

- Target version changed from 2.0 to 2.1
I just spent some considerable time on #2 and had no luck. Both Ermal and myself agree that this is not doable without some kind of large rewrite. Targeting 2.1.

I guess you're talking about Service Provider stuff under PPP configuration when you select PPP as an IPv4 configuration type.
When I do the following:
- use Interfaces:(assign) to create OPT3 on usb
- go to Interfaces:OPT3
- select enable
- change IPv4 config type to PPP
- Service Provider country field has no options (that's another bug probably but neither here nor there)
- Fill in username, password, phone#, apn
- Click Save
the data is stored in /cf/conf/config.xml:
<ppps>
<ppp>
<ptpid>0</ptpid>
<type>ppp</type>
<if>ppp0</if>
<ports>/dev/cuau0</ports>
<username>username2</username>
<password>cGFzc3dvcmQy</password>
<phone>50255512122</phone>
<apn>apn2</apn>
</ppp>
</ppps>
Am I missing something?

correct, but when you go back to that screen it loses which "Service Provider" entry you actually picked. eg if I pick United States, Verizon, Verizon - CDMA, when I edit that it should fill the country, provider, plan in the way they were originally picked.
also I noted if you pick United States in the Country drop down, it fills in a bunch of garbage in the Provider drop down (like "function detect (iterator, context) { var ..."), please fix that while you're at it.

I don't even get the countries filled in. /getserviceproviders.php yields a 500. Apparently this core dump. I'll see if I can fix this.

failing somewhere in this call:
$serviceproviders_attr = xml2array($serviceproviders_contents,1,"attr");
Updated by Darren Embry about 12 years ago
the statement
extract($data);
is failing in the first iteration in the main loop of xml2array.
output of var_export($data) looks innocent, even:
array (
'tag' => 'serviceproviders',
'type' => 'open',
'level' => 1,
'attributes' =>
array (
'format' => '2.0',
),
)

05:28:23 < databeestje_> cmb: eri-- : dsevil : the core dump with xml2array() in combination with php 5.3 was caused by a out of date suhosin patch, Warren resolved the issue. If this is a old snap, as in binaries, then it will probably be that.
05:28:37 < databeestje_> rrd upgrade doesn't kill it anymore so i would consider it fixed.

In latest pfSense snapshot, I'm not seeing this error that Chris reported:
also I noted if you pick United States in the Country drop down, it fills in a bunch of garbage in the Provider drop down (like "function detect (iterator, context) { var ..."), please fix that while you're at it.
I have noticed however that the APN values are not necessarily unique within a provider, unfortunately. One of the big three providers in the USA has two "ISP.CINGULAR" values:
<select class="formselect" name="providerplan" id="providerplan" onchange="prefill_provider()"> <option></option> <option value="ISP.CINGULAR">Data Connect (Accelerated) - ISP.CINGULAR</option> <option value="ISP.CINGULAR">Data Connect - ISP.CINGULAR</option> <option value="WAP.CINGULAR">MEdia Net - WAP.CINGULAR</option> </select>
I'm pretty sure this just means we need to also save the <name> along with the value="..." attribute of the <apn>. Can someone tell me if it WON'T be safe to also have that in the <option> value like below?
<select class="formselect" name="providerplan" id="providerplan" onchange="prefill_provider()"> <option></option> <option value="ISP.CINGULARData Connect (Accelerated)">Data Connect (Accelerated) - ISP.CINGULAR</option> <option value="ISP.CINGULARData Connect">Data Connect - ISP.CINGULAR</option> <option value="WAP.CINGULARMEdia Net">MEdia Net - WAP.CINGULAR</option> </select>
( is a tab, I chose it as a separator because it's not going to show up in a value)

that other issue is fixed, and this original one, it's way more trouble than it's worth.
